We're on a road to nowhere
Oh come on inside.
Takin' that ride to nowhere
Oh we'll take that ride.
Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care.
Oh here is where time is on our side
take you there
take you there

And now for something distracting! So I had promised photographs from Mexico to some people and thought I'd post them publicly for anyone who is curious. Whoever doesn't want to see it... don't wave your wand, simple as that.

But whoever hasn't gone, I think you should definitely go!

Wave your wands )


And now for a bit of history!
Wave it again! )

This is a Late Classic Mayan cylinder vessel from Yucatan. What's in it? Well, normally, there would have been wine in it, but currently? It contains nothing. But it could have bubbled up with concentrated hydrochloric acid if someone should have touched it without the curse being removed first. It wouldn't have done anything to the stone itself, however... bye-bye, hands! It belonged to a Mayan ajaw (or hereditary ruler), who, I suppose was very protective of wine collection because we've found similar vessels like these in a tomb, all heavily cursed... and that's it. Nothing else in abundance.

The end!

Every innocent person that has died to this day because of stupid narrow-minded beliefs will always be a thousand times better of the murderers who believe them and have taken lives because of it. And just because they're not physically around anymore doesn't mean they're forgotten. Catherine is/was/always will be one of the sweetest people who has ever lived and she still made a damn good difference in the world doing what she did. You lot can fuck right off this planet.

I very much would just like to turn right back around and leave again. But that's not going to make a difference, unless I just decided to pick up everyone I care about and take them with me.

Sturgis and Edgar, as my biological twat of a brother and adopted brother, respectively, you should each buy me one box of Junior Witch cookies.

To my friends of Gryffindor 1978, you have put up with me through a lot these past years. And in order to thank me for not driving you TOO crazy, you each should also save me a box of cookies.

To friends I've made through my brother who have also become like older brothers and sisters to me (except you, Alex.. for obvious reasons, I'd never consider you a "brother"), you can show me you love me by buying me a box of cookies. (Alex, you can also still buy me a box of cookies.)

I'll give my thank yous now!

I'm coming back Saturday, friends. Throw a party.

For me. Not for people dying. Because I'm going to need the most cheering up I can get for leaving this gorgeously warm bathing suit weather. Damnit, Europe, why couldn't you have decided to migrate closer to the equator?

You know, if someone that claimed to be giving back to the whole community was having their name put on a very large donation to another charity group that is ALSO about giving back to the community, I'd take it, you know. It would make me feel fan-fucking-tastic. Sorry, I can't pretend to be 100% altruistic.

If there's anyone who still doesn't think Purism equates to supporting Death-Eaters at this point, then do let me know. I always love a good laugh.

Hi. I love you.

Remember the time I lied when Are you in a good mood? Because I have something not bad to tell you and you have to be in a good mood for it.

I have something absolutely awesome and smoking hot to show you. Better than the boobies I showed last time.

Just say "aye" if you want to see.

If we're tallying up deaths to see who is the bad guy then I think Death Eaters win by a landslide victory
Where has it EVER been confirmed that the Order

You know what? Fuck it. You lot are doing fabulous in this debate on your own. Here, have some boobies.

Only if you wave the wand. )

You're welcome.

Four more days and then I'm gone. What a fucking relief. Because despite having plenty to do, I've realized I do less of it when I'm not actively working in the field. I could probably write a whole goddamn book while out in another country, rather than in the quietness of my own home.

Too much quiet is a bit unnerving.

Anyway. I'd like you to meet my new friend! Unfortunately, he doesn't belong to me but a coworker, but if he had a twin, I would have taken him home with me. And his name is Benjamin and he likes lying down on laps, apparently. Particularly, my lap.

Work won't let me ever keep one and so I live vicariously through friends.

I have two weeks.

Two weeks to get some substantial part of my writing done or to putz around the flat and pretend I'm getting work done, to either party or throw parties, or go hide in a cave somewhere (it's been a while since I've done that).

And then. AND THEN. After those two weeks.

I'm heading for MEXICO!! Birth place of many Pre-Columbian civilizations, places and origins of people that I've so far only read in books and yet to see! Olmecs, Aztecs, City of Teotihuacán, JAGUARS!

Okay, so that last one has less to do with the history, but if I see one, it'll be absolutely fan-fucking-tastic.
